David Wadelton
David Wadelton is one of Australia's most renowned Surrealist painters. But he gives a new spin to the term surrealism. Wadelton uses comics, advertising graphics, still life and just about anything that comes to hand, throwing it into a blender and leaving the top open to spray incongruous contrasts and juxtapositions. Recent works utilise computer-based montage. These images take on a manga-like gloss in this new form of cyber-surrealism / popist-postmodernism.
'In fact, it's to film ... that we have to look', writes Charles Green, 'if we want to understand why David Wadelton has arrived, via Old Master painting and Antique statuary, at cartoon characters and garish details drawn from commercial advertising.'
